Wen Xishu didn't hold back any secrets:
"The fourth prophecy is one that requires interpretation. It says that the child with the future will carry the blue sun from his works, illuminating the world and liberating all imprisoned thoughts."
Horn's first reaction was a bit of confusion.
At this moment, police sirens resounded outside.
Wen Xishu said:
"With two people missing from their jobs, although they can't detect our location... this building has already lost its order. We must leave, or we will be locked down soon."
Just after finishing everything, Horn and Wen Xishu arrived at the ground floor of the building.
Both had already changed their disguise, and at this moment, long sleeves covered the wounds on their arms. Wen Xishu pushed Horn, although they garnered many strange looks...
But those looks wouldn't linger too long, because according to the rules—their peculiar gazes don't conform to behavioral norms.
So, when everything operates around a certain order, those who break the order might be the ones who gain the most.
When one loses their own will, the person with their own will becomes the controller of the other.
Horn said:
"I've thought of a safe place, theoretically feasible, but it might be risky."
Wen Xishu still maintained his calm pace. Despite the increasingly clear sound of sirens, he seemed completely unperturbed:
"I'm all ears."
Horn lowered his head:
"A factory. But we need a bit of disguise."
The more dangerous a place, the safer it often is.
A highly ordered world is often also highly monitored. And this city has only a few places left.
Wen Xishu said:
"I see, are you looking for the one who can bring the blue sun?"
Horn nodded.
In fact, at this point, both Wen Xishu and Horn had already guessed what the lost concept was. To love according to one's will, to choose life according to one's will, to remember the past according to one's will...
All these things combined, isn't it—freedom?
But neither spoke this word, as neither had the assurance to defeat the Sea Beast.
Horn said:
"Actually, I was thinking ahead, about what we should do when we figure out what the concept is within twenty-four hours."
"We've preserved the concept ourselves, but the question is, how to keep Sirius preserving this concept."
"Could it be that we have to, like last time, find some way to make everyone aware of the concept?"
"But I don't think so. Besides, we don't have the confidence to fight the Sea Beast again."
Wen Xishu thought to himself, actually, there is a way, but it involves huge risk.
Whether the handle can control his transformation into Ghost Groom... that's an unknown.
Horn continued:
"If the fourth prophecy comes true, we can pass without violence, but instead, complete the unfinished setup of predecessors with their help."
"Perhaps fulfilling this prophecy doesn't need to make everyone feel discordance, nor does it require the appearance of those two words. Naturally, it can also avoid the Sea Beast."
Wen Xishu still admired Horn.
To be honest, after acquiring Ghost Groom's abilities, Wen Xishu always felt he could pass by force. With this reliance, he lost a certain sense of urgency.
On the previous island, he didn't even use that power. Just with the handle's power, he could force the lost concept to be known to everyone.
This time, Wen Xishu also dreaded the Sea Beast's evolution, but he too could evolve.
At this moment, Wen Xishu looked at Horn and thought of his past self.
If he were Horn...
Without many trump cards, would he really be captured without resistance? Is there really no way to find the correct path to pass over sixty levels of Deceit Tower?
Wen Xishu suddenly felt competitive:
"Alright, let's realize this fourth prophecy."
Horn pointed to a huge electronic billboard on a building.
On it was the propaganda of "Upperly Human."
It was an image of people living in the industrial district, who had lost their prefrontal cortex, enjoying expensive food with indifferent looks.
"We need to be like them."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"That's not hard to do, but before we go to the industrial district, we need to visit the hospital first."
Horn smiled:
"Thanks. By the way, about the blue sun... do you have any thoughts?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I used to... hmm, I heard a story before, which said there was a place called Huajin Empire. The old lords of the place were as radiant as the sun, and everything there was filled with order. People were not even allowed to laugh on certain festivals."
"The leader of that place was the supreme descendant of the sun."
"One day, it was said, a girl painted a blue sun on her drawing. The girl merely let her imagination run wild, wondering why the sun had to be golden and the sky had to be blue. Could it be reversed?"
"In fact, this kind of question is the origin of creativity."
"But this matter was quickly noticed by the priest, who reported the girl's parents. The girl's parents could not imagine being questioned by the tribe for the blue sun painted by their child about their faith in the gods."
"How could the sun be blue?"
"In fact, blue has a metaphorical significance in both art and psychology."
Wen Xishu didn't reveal that metaphor.
